Riding into battle in one scene, T.E. Lawrence shouts, "No prisoners, no prisoners!". This command would now be considered a violation of the international rules of war and the Geneva Conventions. Such a command would be covered in the 3rd Geneva Convention regarding prisoners of war but that came into place in 1929 (and was revised later in 1949). As such Lawrence's command would not be a war crime at the time portrayed, it would only be considered so more than a decade later.
